"Returning to African agrarian practices & bringing plants native to our ancestral homelands into our environment is healing for Black people in a world that often denies us access to greenery, frivolity, healthy food & our full history." @gabbyhickmon https://t.co/FWTgYe1KoQ

Launched in 2013, “Faso Soap” - now called MAÏA, focused on the development of a long-lasting mosquito soap. MAÏA has since worked on an ointment that is also used daily as soap and protects more effectively at a lower cost. https://t.co/0oB3aqpuPZ #InventorsMonth

“The 1st line of His Only Wife may well get under your skin, or at least, evoke a palpable reaction: “Elikem married me in absentia; he did not come to our wedding.” & just like that, we step right in it, no time to take our shoes or coats off.” https://t.co/FWTgYe1KoQ

“Nostalgia pleasantly overwhelms... the sound of rainfall tapping on the zinc roofs during my childhood, when we would sit in a circle telling stories and drinking hot peppeh (pepper) soup – yep! made with the main ingredient: water.” https://t.co/FWTgYe1KoQ

🚨**New Blog Post**🚨
"Access to clean water is an entry point to access all other human rights. Facts: 71% of the Earth is water. Only 3% is fresh water. 2.2 billion people lack access to clean water. 50% of them are in Africa." https://t.co/FWTgYe1KoQ
